How to join a credit union in California
To join one of the credit unions above, you need to fall within its field of membership — usually by living or working in Los Angeles or the surrounding area, through your employer, or via an association anyone can join. Once eligible, you open a small share account (often $5) that makes you a part-owner with one vote, regardless of your balance. Deposits are insured up to $250,000 by the NCUA.

Credit unions in Los Angeles — common questions
How many credit unions are in Los Angeles?
15 member-owned, NCUA-insured credit unions are headquartered in or near Los Angeles, California, with a combined 355,272 members. The largest is Firefighters First.
Are these the closest credit unions to me in Los Angeles?
The first list is credit unions whose NCUA charter (headquarters) is based in or near Los Angeles, geocoded to the city. The second list adds 24 more credit unions headquartered elsewhere that NCUA shows with a branch in Los Angeles, as of June 30, 2026. A credit union can serve a wider area than its branches. For a true distance-sorted list from your exact location, use the "near me" finder above.
Can I join any credit union in Los Angeles?
Not always. Every credit union has a "field of membership" — you typically qualify by living or working in a defined area, your employer, or an association you can join. Many community credit unions in California accept anyone in the area; others are tied to a specific group. Check each credit union's eligibility before opening a share account (often as little as $5).
Credit union vs bank — which is better in Los Angeles?
Banks are for-profit and owned by shareholders; credit unions are not-for-profit cooperatives owned by their members, so surplus comes back to members as higher savings rates, lower loan rates and fewer fees. The trade-off is membership eligibility and, sometimes, a smaller branch and ATM network.
